Installation Instructions

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

•If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

•Vizia™ RF electronic switches are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ or Vizia™ RF controllers.

•Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•Use only one (1) ViziaTM RF electronic switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 ViziaTM coordinating remotes without LEDs or ViziaTM RF remotes for multi-location.

•Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).

•Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing or removing fixture.

•Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL.

INTRODUCTION

Leviton’s Vizia™ RF Z-Wave™ components are designed to communicate with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control of

is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended device by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. The Scene Capable Plug-In Appliance Module is compatible with any Z-Wave™ enabled network, regardless of the manufacturer and can also be used with other devices displaying the Z-Wave™ logo.

If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable heaters. This device will not control

Changing the color of your Switch:

Your switch includes three color options. The switch ships with the White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:

IMPORTANT : For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) in both the switch wall box and remote wall box.

Step 3 Preparing and connecting wires:

This switch can be wired using side wire terminal screws or through backwire openings. Choose appropriate wire stripping specifications accordingly.

•Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if necessary).

•Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown.

•For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4a.

•For 3-Way Coordinating Remote (no LEDs) Application, go to Step 4b.

NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to terminal screw marked "YL/RD",

use electrical tape to cover.

• Proceed to Step 5.

(note wire color).

• Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked "YL/RD".

• Second Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked "YL/RD"

(note wire color). This traveler from the switch must go to the

terminal screw on the remote marked "YL/RD".

• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked "WH".
